Where are the hard keys located on the Forward Attendant Panel?

The hard keys on the Forward Attendant Panel are located below the touch screen. This design allows for easy access to critical functions while simultaneously minimizing the chances of accidental activation of nearby controls. The placement beneath the touch screen is particularly ergonomic, as it makes it more intuitive for cabin crew members to operate essential controls without having to look away from their passengers or the primary interface.

This configuration is designed to enhance the functionality of the panel, ensuring that attendants can efficiently manage in-flight services. The other options, which suggest placing the hard keys above the touch screen, on the side, or integrated into the screen, either limit accessibility or would complicate the usability of the panel.
